Social Progress in Britain

By: Anthony F. Heath,Elizabeth Garratt,Ridhi Kashyap,Yaojun Li,Lindsay Richards

In his landmark 1942 report on social insurance Sir William Beveridge talked about the 'five giants on the road to reconstruction' — the giants of Want, Disease, Ignorance, Squalor, and Idleness. Social Progress in Britain investigates how much progress Britain has made in tackling the challenges of material deprivation, ill-health, educational standards, lack of housing, and unemployment in the decades since Beveridge wrote. It also asks how progress in Britain compares with that of peer countries — Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Sweden and the USA. Has Britain been slipping behind? What has been the impact of the increased economic inequality which Britain experienced in the 1980s — has rising economic inequality been mirrored by increasing inequalities in other areas of life too? Have there been increasing inequalities of opportunity between social classes, men and women, and different ethnic groups? And what have been the implications for Britain's sense of social cohesion?

Healing at the Movies

How Indian Films Can Educate and Sensitise Us

By: Gajra Kottary,Ridhi Sarda

Popcorn tub ready. Phone on silent. Back reclined. Lights dim. Let the magic begin! The Indian cinema has a power over us like no other. Be it the cast, the songs, the story, or the message, film-viewing as an experience is much more than just for ‘entertainment, entertainment, and entertainment’. Be it a good movie or bad, we love to discuss, debate, and analyse. There is no denying that they stay with us for a long time, because bade-bade deshon mein aisi chhoti-chhoti baatein hoti rehti hain. Healing at the Movies is a book about cinema and its impact on us. Apart from the glitz, the glamour, and the sparkle, films can subconsciously influence our thoughts and how we react to situations in life. The three uninterrupted hours that we give, we share each character’s pain and problems as much as their joys and celebrations. This is where reality and fiction merge together . . . where a song and dance sequence can teach us more about society than society itself. *Cue the song: Khalbali hai khalbali* Every film is a reflection of its times. This book is a treasure trove of movies made on pertinent social issues that will not only rekindle your love for the Indian cinema but also make you a better, informed human being. So, what are you waiting for? Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost ...
